Servicing the Engine Oil
Oil Type:
High-quality detergent oil classified “API
Service CF or CF-4" or higher for diesel engines. Do
not use special additives with recommended oils.
Crankcase Capacity:
3.5 quarts (3.3 liters)
Viscosity:
See the table below.
Figure 45
Checking the Engine Oil Level
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
Note:
Check the oil when the engine is cold.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position and set the parking
brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick (Figure 46) so dirt
cannot fall into the filler hole and damage the engine.
4. Pull the oil dipstick out and wipe the metal end clean
5. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the tube. Pull the
dipstick out and look at the metal end (Figure 46). If
the oil level is low, slowly pour only enough oil into
the fill hole to raise the level to the full mark.
Important:
Do not overfill the crankcase with
oil because this may cause engine damage. Do
not run the engine with oil below the low mark
because the engine may be damaged as a result.

Changing the Engine Oil
Service Interval:
After the first 50 hours
Every 100 hours
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine on a level surface.
3. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position and set the parking
brake.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
5. Place a pan below the oil drain. Remove the drain
plug and let the oil drain completely (Figure 50).
6. Remove the oil filler cap from the top of the engine
(Figure 48). This will help the oil to drain.
7. Install the drain plug and tighten it to 25-1/2 ft-lb
(35 N-m).
Note:
Dispose of the used oil at a recycling center.
